Mac Mini Dual Core

I couldn't resist--I'm replacing my amazingly-slow-to-change-discs Sony 5-disc DVD player with an Intel Mac Mini. My video setup is now:

  • Sony KDL-V40XBR1 -- A terrific 40" 1366x768 LCD screen
  • Mac Mini -- For DVDs, iTunes programs, and Front Row use in general
  • TBD -- a 5.1 surround system...
We've been cable-free--thanks more to my inability to stop watching than to avoid commercials--for about 10 years. Lately we've been buying DVDs of programming like Sex in the City (my wife's favorite) and Curb Your Enthusiasm (my favorite). But thanks to Apple we are now Platinum members of the iTunes store and especially their TV shows for purchase. I am hoping that Steve J completes my new A/V setup by rolling out HD movies soon.
